What is Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney?
Ronald McDonald House Charities Greater Western Sydney supports over 1,600 families with seriously sick and injured children each year. Since 1981, we’ve been Keeping Families Close- both to each other and their child’s hospital care. Our house at Westmead is a home-away-from-home for 60 families each night from regional and rural Australia, as well as providing access to everyday essentials, home-cooked meals, in-house programs and educational support. We also serve families on ward with our Hospitality Carts located in Nepean Hospital and Campbeltown Hospital.

Your support will help to provide much needed emotional and practical support that reduces the stress and costs to families while improving their ability to cope.
